03 636 is overheating....need some help

Hey guys im new on here and have searched the forms and just cant find what im looking for.....I bought a 03 636 a few months ago and I am in the process of having my first stunt bike. I have a few bugs to work out before I put a cage or a 12 oclock bar. I finnaly got it running the other day. I live just north of Charlotte in North Carolina and its hot as **** here right now. I was only able to ride for about 10 mins before my temp gauge got to 240....then I cut it off. The fan is comming on but is not cooling the bike down like I thought it would. What are you guys doing to keep your bikes running cool when its 100 degrees outside??? Im only going to be rideing in lots, not on the street so how should I set my bike up???

flush the radiator and put new coolant in and then install a switch to turn your fan on/off for when your stunting

you can always connect up a second fan, and have it running permanently
